[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about offerings from Horizons

Hi Catherine,
I don't know the titles you are after, but I know Canadians can't access the
full collection. Someone on another craft list, or perhaps I saw it on a
blog somewhere, recommended some loom knitting books from Bookshare. If you
do a search without logging in, you will see them, but once you log in, many
titles disappear and are not available. I have also come across titles that
I want, and when I attempt to get the book, I'm told it is not available in
my region.
Good luck, and let us know if you find any books.
Jean

I missed the name of the loom book available on bookshare. I did do a
search, but did not fine much. Appreciate if you could repeat that book
title.
